1. طَلَعَتْ شَمْسُ عُقارِ

    وَسُقاةٌ كَالشُّمُوسِ

    The sun of wine has risen,

    And cupbearers are like suns.

  2. فَتَلَقَّوْها بِبِشْرٍ

    وَاغْتِباطٍ بِالأَنِيسِ

    So welcome it with cheer

    And delight in the companion.

  3. وَلْيَدُرْ كَأْسُ بُدُورٍ

    فِيهِ أَهْواءُ النُّفُوسِ

    And let the full moons' cup go round;

    In it are the desires of souls.

  4. وَاصِلٌ بَعْدَ جَفَاءٍ

    ضاحِكٌ بَعْدَ عُبُوسِ

    Reuniting after estrangement,

    Laughing after frowning.

  5. قَرِّبُونِي مِنْ نَعِيمٍ

    مُبْعَدٍ عَنْ كُلِّ بُوسِ

    Bring me near to bliss,

    Far removed from all misery.

  6. أَطْيَبُ الْعَيْشِ بُدُورٌ

    تَتَمَّشى بِشُمُوسِ

    The sweetest life is full moons

    Strolling with suns.

  7. أَنْجُمُ الْمَحْرُومِ هذَا

    طالِعاتٌ بِنُحُوسِ

    The stars of this luckless man

    Are rising with ill fortune.
